Playing with the VC colours

[David Roch 1,982]

I like the way one can customize the cockpit environment in the NGX.Here is my VC lighting for dusk and night. If you wish to copy it, make a backup of your original 737NGX_Colors.ini file (*) and replace the content with the following:

Hello Smasher, if I'm not mistaken, this is the section you are looking for:

TEXT_OFF_R_VC=186TEXT_OFF_G_VC=186TEXT_OFF_B_VC=216TEXT_FULL_R_VC=242TEXT_FULL_G_VC=138TEXT_FULL_B_VC=113TEXT_BG_OFF_R_VC=70TEXT_BG_OFF_G_VC=70TEXT_BG_OFF_B_VC=117TEXT_BG_FULL_R_VC=111TEXT_BG_FULL_G_VC=28TEXT_BG_FULL_B_VC=0

Probably the "BG" lines, but I'm not sure!
